A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It is literally a crime against humanity to declare no quarter be given.
Edit: US Code literally prescribes death for war crimes when that crime results in death: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title18-section2441&num=0&edition=prelim
Too bad laws are only suggestions for the US government.
It's enough for the ICC to put out a warrant
You mean the ICC that is not recognized by the US? Lmao
Doesn't mean they can't issue a warrant, which would mean he can't ever leave the US after he's done being president.
Bro the US literally has enshrined a law that authorizes them to 'legally' invade the Hague if any of them are tried or captired.
I wouldn't hold my breath. The ICC was always an extension of US imperialism.
I seriously doubt the USA would invade a country in Europe. That would be the end of "the West" as it is currently recognized.
Bro the US literally has enshrined a law that authorizes them to ‘legally’ invade the Hague if any of them are tried or captired.
I think it depends on whether or not the next administration turns them over.

Going to need a citation to the statute. Not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to see where it is for a better understanding.

X Doubt.
But, even if that were true, the ICC has carried forth good actualizations of justice.
Ah yes, I forgot how they captured Netanyahu.
Has he been anywhere that has extradition to that court?
Is googling too hard for you?

Keep licking the boot.
Whose boot was I licking?
It's the Geneva checklist or Geneva suggestion for a reason.
11 people? There were 11 people on the boat? There's no fucking way that was a drug smuggling boat. 11 people means at least nine people's worth of weight that can't be dedicated to drugs.
it was not proven those boats were ~~not~~ carrying drugs nor have fuel capacity to reach the US coasts. They most likely killed fisher boats:

Our ancestors didn't defy kings, battle their own wayward countrymen, charge trenches, and rush fortified beaches headlong into the jaws of death. . .
. . .for. This. Whatever the disgraceful hell this is.
About now, every real patriot for what's good about this country should feel a profound and gnawing agony at every passing day these monsters aren't held to account and rendered incapable of further harm to humanity, whatever form that would take.
We need to make it loud and clear that if "the other team" in places of power doesn't use every single tool at their disposal to end this threat IMMEDIATELY, they are complicit fools and will be held accountable as accomplices to whatever untold horrors would await us, should we refuse to hold the line.
Yea, this bothers me. At this point I agree that any politician that doesnt start fighting this Nazi is a traitor to the US.
Usual america terrorist moment
Dont worry everyone. Republicans will praise the pedophile and friends through tweets. The Democrats will post a mildly worded tweet. No one will actually do anything.
Jesus fucking Christ, the bastards went full movie trope.
"What do we do with the survivors, sir?"
"There were no survivors. Do you understand?"
God you can just tell that he gets off on the feeling that he had the power to kill people. Gets him moist.
What's the conversion rate on Venezuelans to Austrian Archdukes?
1 billion venezuelans per 1 Austrian archduke
But Americans won’t take Hegseth out because that would just be so uncouth and WE WOULD BE NO BETTER THAN HIM.
Cowards.
Banning the griefer's Minecraft account would save countless lives.
It's not a warcrime if you've never formally declared war points finger at temple.
Man I knew he said that but I didn't know it was in that context. Murderous fucker!
As I understand, not a single one of these boats were even remotely capable of making it to America to begin with. Not without refueling, which isn’t likely that we’re set up for it.
This was all a coordinated targeted mass murder right in front of our faces and they need to be tried and punished for every one.
America: ill do it again!
That sounds rather... war-crime-y.
Should the orange cancer expect sternly written letters off displeasure (that are written at an adult comprehension level and not written in crayon, leading to him disregarding them ofc)?
